Guidelines for Dispatch of Bees 2018

Friday, 20 July 2018 06:36:00 Europe/London

Recently we have received an increasing amount of phone calls from customers requesting dates and times. Unfortunately we cannot give accurate dates and times as everything is nature orientated. We understand it is exciting receiving your bees but we want to ensure that you will be happy with them so they do not leave us until we are 100% happy with their quality.

Provisional Guidelines for distribution of bees in 2018.

WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED DISTRIBUTION OF BEES FOR 2018, QUEENS WILL RUN UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER & WE EXPECTING TO BE TAKING ORDERS FOR BEES IN 2019 IN OCTOBER.

We will be in contact with you, to arrange convenient collection / dispatch dates so please remember we are not office based and we are activily working on sites with bees and phone calls can disturb and delay our work. We will never dispatch your bees without your prior knowledge and agreement, we are dealing with livestock and will ensure someone is available your end to accept the parcel. Do not panic and expect your bees to arrive without your agreement.

Please ensure you are keeping an eye on your emails as this will be our first point of contact - including spam folder!
